Sorry I was looking at the wrong set of notes, the model I posted is in fact a displacer beast.

I love the familiars and the umberhulk...man... thing. Also the leprechaun on an owl is just cool. I may have to place an order soon... but that's always a dangerous slope with Reaper as there always seems to be just one more model I would like to buy while I am paying for shipping.

Also, I wonder if GW is going to change the name of their painting crew now that they don't really have metal models anymore. Perhaps call them the "Rather Light Resin" team?

So we're still at one of two options:

1) You've played DnD since 1984 and don't know what an Umber Hulk is.
2) You were trying to be funny and failed miserably.

You could have at least put some effort into it and said something about how they locked The Incredible Hulk and Arthas in a room together with a barrel of Mutagen from TMNT and that's what came stumbling out in the morning.

Oh oh, what about option 3? You don't have a sense of humor. Geeze. Just drop it already. We get that you didn't get the joke.

With the bile that gets launched across this forum you thought that was an insult? Really?

Also, you may not be aware of it, but "post fixing" isn't nearly as cool as you think it is.

The Umber Hulk joke is like all those times my wife sees any of
my miniatures and says, "Trolls!" or "Goblins!"

He's mocking by feigning ignorance. Actually, in my wife's case,
she's mocking by displaying her ignorance about my miniatures
